Circuit Description
The pressure control valve (PCV) is used to adjust supply pump discharge amount so as to adjust common rail pressure. Discharge amount from the supply pump to the common rail is determined by PCV current timing.
If the engine control module (ECM) detects a PCV 1 signal voltage that is excessively high, DTC 0247 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Abnormally low driving voltage with PCV OFF, pump normal mode, battery voltage higher than 10 volts and no crankshaft position (CKP) sensor faults with the ignition ON.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) the first time the fault is detected. |
| • | Common rail pressure is limited to 60 MPa (8,702 psi) or less. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
DTC 0247 can be cleared by using the Clear Info on the scan tool or by using the Diag Clear Switch.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for the following conditions:
| • | Poor connection at the ECM |
| Inspect the harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection. |
| • | Damaged harness |
| Inspect the wiring harness for damage, shorts to ground, shorts to battery, and open circuits. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the PCV display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the PCV sensor. A change in the PCV sensor scan tool display will indicate the location of the fault. |
